If we allow the Democrats to select the next several rounds of Supreme Court picks, then we've guaranteed that they'll ALL be liberals. FDR's dream court. Not to mention the rest of the federal judiciary. No thanks. I'd much rather take my chances with the Republicans.

This article sounds almost a defeatist tone over the prospect of more Republican appointees, but the Republicans have brought it all entirely upon themselves with the Stevens, Souter and Kennedy appointments, not to mention O'Connor, and particularly considering the profoundly weak reaction of the Republican Senate to the unheard-of and unconstitutional filibuster of the Estrada and Owens appointments. Americans who truly care about the direction this country will follow should be energized by the two recent decisions, and the emphasis should be at ground zero, i.e., these two appointments.

I don't give two hoots whether the Constitution Party, Republican Party or anyone else gets us Scalia-like sitting judges/justices, but we need to get there, and fast. With each passing day apathy is killing our Republic.

Well, I guarantee you that you will NOT get a conservative court if the Democrats do the selecting. And seeing as how (even by their own admission) the Libertarian and Constitution parties will never ever be elected, much less be the majority party, they will never ever be the parties selecting the judiciary. That means our ONLY hope of kicking out the liberals is to continue supporting the Republicans.
